Reaction Steps

Methanesulfonyl chloride (74 mg, 0.65 mmol) was added to a mixture of (±)-phenylmethyl (2R,4S)-2-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-4-(hydroxymethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (233 mg, 0.64 mmol), triethylamine (233 mg, 1.7 mmol), and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (15 mg, 0.13 mmol) in toluene (10 mL) at 0° C., and the resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 15 minutes, and at room temperature for another 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was then quenched with a cold mixture of water and ethyl acetate. The organic portion was separated, washed with water, then brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (5% to 25% ethyl acetate in hexanes gradient) to give (±)-phenylmethyl (2R,4S)-2-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-4-{[(methylsulfonyl)oxy]methyl}piperidine-1-carboxylate (271 mg, 96% yield). MS (EI) for C21H23F2NO5S: 440 (MH+).
